Once we left Banff, AB, we headed south back to the US. It was a full day of driving so we didn’t stop for any pictures except this one.

We met up with our friend Pat to enjoy a couple of days in Spokane, WA. After catching up on some much needed sleep we all agreed to head outside for some lunch and a short walk to stretch our legs.

After a short drive through town we stopped at the Riverside State Park.
Riverside State Park is Washington’s 2nd largest State Park. It is located about 9 miles northwest of Spokane. Pat told us she had been here years ago and remembered it being beautiful. Clearly, Pat has a great memory.

After Pat and Joel checked out a trail map we were on our way.
Pat told us the “Pitcher” is the rock formation and the “Bowl” comes from the water swirling in a bowl shape at the base.


One last picture before we call it a day.
Thanks for a great day Pat!
